Space Qualified GaAs MMICs

More than 70 commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) MMIC die products provided by the company are able to be qualified to MIL-PRF-38534 Class K, or could be hermetically packaged and qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 Class S. The space qualification elemental evaluation is either performed internally by the company, or through its trusted subcontractors. In addition, the company can develop and qualify a custom solution, if desired. Several of the company’s products have already undergone the rigorous high-level visual inspection, burn-in, 1000-hour life test, 100% elemental electrical results, and wafer lot qualification. For example, the CMD 162 Ka-band LNA has heritage, having completed Class K qualification and was launched in a major communications fast broadband satellite in 2015.
